Pip Decision taking for ever

LNiomi

Hello everyone just wondering if anyone's in the same situation as me?
Basically my PIP claim started on 27/04/18
I had my F2F on 06/08/18
They received the report on 07/08/18 and said I should hear back within 4 weeks.
I've still not heard anything, I've called up 3 times and the past 3 weeks it's been with claim management so was told it shouldn't take long well that was almost 4 weeks ago now. My anxiety is killing me, I just want a decision!

Unfortunately, there's no timescales to decisions. The time they tell you is just a guide and nothing more.



Have you requested a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you? This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with the report.


I know it's stressful, been there and done that but there's nothing more you can do until a decision's been made. I waited 6 weeks for my daughters decision. Some wait 2 weeks and others 8 weeks or more. Good luck.

Just ask for the PA4 report and you can see what the assessor said. I had to ask for mine twice to actually get it. Don't get too upset if there are misrepresentations in it, unfortunately, this is fairly par for the course.

From f2f assessment to decision (decision changed at MR) took 9 weeks for me.
